This looks fascinating to me…and has some examples of “code meshing” in scholarly writing….

Greetings Utopists and fellow travelers,

Instead of our annual conference, and with much less organization, the Society for Utopian Studies is planning a series of virtual roundtables this fall. We’re kicking off the first one with a discussion of Tom Moylan’s new book, Becoming Utopian: The Culture and Politics of Radical Transformation (Bloomsbury 2020). Stay tuned for announcements of additional events. 

The first roundtable will be Friday, 13 November 2020, at 11:30 a.m. CST, a time we chose to maximize the possibility of attendance across international time zones.  This URL should show you the event in YOUR time zone: https://tinyurl.com/y5jnbj5m.

Here is a link to the registration page for this free event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/roundtable-discussion-on-tom-moylans-becoming-utopian-tickets-127726012943.

We certainly hope, too, that you’ll consider becoming a member of the Society for Utopian Studies if you are not already, and plan on attending our annual conference, in Austin, TX on 10-14 November 2021. Here’s a link to membership information: https://utopian-studies.org/membership/.

Hi all,

I wanted to share this guide created by Donna Davey, one of the Mina Rees librarians. She offers strategies for conducting archival research while physical collections are closed or difficult to access. Donna has included extensive links to digitized collections that may be of use to researchers in your programs. 

All best,
Emily

Activating June Jordan’s “Life Studies”notes, conversation & workshop with Conor Tomás Reed and Talia Shalev 

Thursday, November 12, 3:30pm-5:00pm

Zoom registration link: https://bit.ly/31h4JnC  

Throughout her lifetime, writer and educator June Jordan’s creative practice bridged the labors of poetry, activism, and pedagogy, and constantly animated the question that she once asked of the university: “How do you provide for the Study of Human Life?”  Join Conor Tomás Reed and Talia Shalev––editors of Jordan’s “Life Studies,” 1966-1976 for The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative––as they share notes on her poetic and pedagogical life in New York within an array of communities. Reed and Shalev trace the tributaries of Jordan’s “life studies” across a selection of Jordan’s writings covering housing justice, youth literacy, and college access and curriculum demands. Their presentation will be followed by a conversation and workshop component in which participants will practice imagining their own “Life Studies” curricula. 

Conor Tomás Reed is a Puerto Rican/Irish multi-gendered street scholar and freedom maker who teaches Africana Studies and American Studies at Brooklyn College. Conor is a contributing editor with LÁPIZ Journal and Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative, and a participant in Free CUNY and Rank and File Action (RAFA). Conor is developing a book about the rise of Black, Puerto Rican, and Women’s Studies and movements at the City College of New York and in New York City from 1960 to the present. This event is a part of Conor’s November-January residency, entitled “Radiating Black~Puerto Rican~Feminist Studies from CUNY to the Americas and the Caribbean,” with the Brooklyn community center Wendy’s Subway.   

Talia Shalev is a teacher, scholar, and poet. She is a co-editor (with Conor Tomás Reed) of June Jordan’s “Life Studies,” 1966-1976 and Adrienne Rich: Teaching at CUNY, 1968-1974, both published through Lost & Found: the CUNY Poetics Document Initiative. Her writing appears in The Seattle Review, The Volta,Cream City Review, and Women’s Studies: an inter-disciplinary journal. Talia teaches as a lecturer at the Stevens Institute of Technology and holds a PhD in English from the CUNY Graduate Center. Her current research project is Some Inarticulate Major Premise: Poetry, the Will of the People, and the U.S. Supreme Court.  

Facilitated by Maryam Ivette Parhizkar as part of the course ER&M 363: Ethnic Studies and the Social Imagination. Presented with support from the Ethnicity, Race and Migration Program at Yale University and the Wendy’s Subway Residency Program in Brooklyn, New York.

Dear All

So much to respond to below, and I look forward to our class meeting. Just to start out, a lot of people have referenced CUNY’s history of Open Admissions. I wanted to share a recent dissertation from our program:

Danica Savonick, Insurgent Knowledge: The Poetics and Pedagogy of Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and Adrienne Rich in the Era of Open Admissions
